January 28, 2025 — Gathering the assets
In preparation to help my contact at Wild Dreams Films make the sale to a broadcast house I have been gathering, preparing, and then sending via WeTransfer some really large video files. It is slow going, seemingly endless (it’s not, I know). I have hours of footage from the making of the film about Janet Chandler then through all the developments, the launch of the cold-case team, the country-wide investigation, the arrests, all the arraignments, the preliminary hearings, the trial, the verdicts, the aftermath…hours and hours. Along the way I’ve begun to tell my contact some of the stories that accompanied my involvement in the case…and I was involved. There is story after story about what we all had to go through to reach a successful conclusion of the case. I saw up close and personal how the investigative team worked–and boy did the members of that team work! There were times they thought they’d have to shut down. The success of the investigation really was down to them: young Michael Jafri, David Van Lopic, Rob Borowski, Roger VanLiere, and Geoffrey Flohr. They were and are heros. (Roger has since walked on; I really miss him.) So, I’m busy.
